Jane Goodall’s light will never fade. 🌍💚 She showed us how love, courage, and kindness can change the world. Let us remember her words “What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.” #JaneGoodall

Kindness is a behavior that involves being considerate, generous, and helpful to others without expecting anything in return. No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. Kindness inspires others to be kind, and so on. We need more of this in our world today. 🌎

The first and only time Lucky experienced snow on our trip to Maine for Christmas when he was a puppy. ❄️ Hey buddy, guess what? We have snow in the forecast for Florida this week. True fact. ☃️

Four years ago I wrote my inaugural poem The Hill We Climb. Both when I wrote it and performed it, I did so while continuously reflecting on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and Coretta Scott King’s legacy.

This year’s FIU MLK Celebration theme, Empowering Generations of Audacious Leaders, hit home. It’s about more than just showing up—it’s about having the courage to keep going, to inspire others, and to lead with boldness, even when the road gets tough.🙏 #MLK

Some days, the world feels like it’s teetering on the edge—chaos everywhere, the future a giant question mark. When it feels like the wheels are coming off, that’s when we dig in. We just need to show up, do good, and keep going. Because the only way forward is through hope and action. 🙏

Bottom line: This analysis confirms for me that Bluesky is a more reliable platform for seeing the content you want, especially on climate topics. Its lack of algorithm means that engagement here depends on YOU!

🌪️2025 is coming in like a lion, but I'm clinging to my sanity looking at my flower photos in Maine and Florida. Had an "aha" moment writing amidst the chaos - maybe it was the impending doom? 🤔 Either way, finding zen in gardens from my travels...for now. 🌺 #gardening #community

Marjory Stoneman Douglas was 57 when her book helped create Everglades National Park! At 108, her ashes were scattered in the ecosystem she fought to save. Her legacy? You're never too old to make a difference. #Everglades #EnvironmentalLegacy #MarjoryStonemanDouglas

Bluesky can be a fraught place to post about AI but it is worth noting that the buzz over o1 (& now o3) is not “hype.” We know o1 can actually do some very hard tasks (see my post) & o3 appears to represent a big further leap.

With previous technologies, younger people launching startups had big advantages as they were outside firms & early users
In AI, they may not. Why? Because AIs produce good-enough work that novices can’t tell how useful they are or (as we found in our paper) risks & how AI fits into organizations.
